Our Shipping Returns Policy at a Glance

Golden Postal is a full-service pack-and-ship counter on W Broward Blvd. This shipping returns policy explains how we ship packages, how prepaid returns are handled, what we’re responsible for, and how claims and refunds work — so every neighbor across Plantation and Broward County ships with confidence.

Carrier options

We are a USPS Approved Postal Provider, a FedEx Authorized ShipCenter, and a UPS Authorized Shipping Outlet, and we also handle DHL. That means you can compare all four carriers side by side in one trip and choose the option that fits your budget and deadline. Ground, expedited, priority, express and international services are available depending on the carrier and destination.

Rates & payment

Shipping rates are set by the carriers and are based on package weight, dimensions, destination zone and the service level you select. We quote the live price before you commit — no surprises. We accept cash and all major credit and debit cards at the counter. Optional add-ons such as insurance, signature confirmation and tracking upgrades are available and priced by the carrier.

Prohibited & restricted items

Federal law and carrier rules prohibit shipping certain items, including hazardous materials, flammables, explosives, most lithium-battery configurations, perishables without proper packaging, illegal goods, and cash or currency. If you’re unsure whether an item can ship, call us at (954) 475-4044 before you pack it and we’ll confirm what each carrier allows.

Packaging Responsibility & Our Packing Guarantee

Carriers only cover damage on items that are properly packed. When our team professionally packs your shipment, we stand behind it — that’s our packing guarantee.

  • Bring it in unpacked and we’ll box, cushion and seal it correctly
  • Professionally packed items qualify for full carrier declared-value coverage
  • Self-packed drop-offs ship at the customer’s own risk per carrier rules
  • Fragile, oversized and high-value items are our specialty

Transit Times, Claims & Refunds

Carrier-estimated transit times

Delivery windows are estimates provided by each carrier, not guarantees from Golden Postal. Domestic ground typically runs 1–5 business days, priority and expedited services 1–3 business days, and overnight/express options next business day where available. International transit varies by destination and customs. Weather, peak season and carrier delays can affect timing, so we recommend choosing a service with tracking and, for time-sensitive shipments, a guaranteed-delivery option.

Lost or damaged claims

If a package is lost or arrives damaged, keep your receipt and all original packaging and contact us right away. We’ll help you file a claim with the carrier and provide the tracking and drop-off documentation you need. Claim eligibility, timelines and payouts are determined by the carrier and by the coverage or insurance purchased at the time of shipping. Professionally packed shipments have the strongest standing on damage claims.

Refunds for services

Postage and carrier fees are non-refundable once a shipment has been tendered to the carrier, because those funds go directly to USPS, FedEx, UPS or DHL. If a service has not yet been rendered — for example, a label purchased but not shipped — we’ll work with you on a refund or credit where carrier rules allow. Packing, printing and in-store service fees are refundable only if the work has not been performed.

In-store returns drop-off

Have a prepaid return label from Amazon, a retailer or any carrier? Bring the item to our counter and we’ll accept the drop-off, scan it, and hand you a receipt as proof — no line, no hassle. If you need the item packed or a label printed, we can do that too. Returns drop-off is one of the most popular reasons neighbors from Plantation, Davie, Sunrise and Weston stop in.
